    Umm, that whole thing about the core is completely wrong. That slab at the top is *NOT* what causes the ball to hook... If you look at other professional bowling balls, they don't even have that slab, that's pretty much unique to Storm. Its the shape of the core that causes the motion of the ball in combination with the ball's surface.

  • @JasonDoust
    @JasonDoust 13 лет назад

    @vitruvian8807 The'yve missed quite a bit of detail in this. Take a closer look and you'll see a yellow dot about 3/8" across on the surface of these balls. That's the riser pin which locates the centre of the ball core. That pin can be located in relation to a player' axis of rotation to create a larger or smaller "wheel" within the ball. Larger distances rev up slower, smaller ones faster. It's a lot more complex than that, but I'm sure you get the idea.

      There are when the customer requests them to be pre-drilled. Some companys won't drill upon request but most will provided you give them specific drilling (measurements). And of course in that case the customer needs to make sure they give the exact measurement and they (customer) assume responsibility if they give the wrong info.

    its depends from wich side the ball has a "charge", the depth of the finger holes may also be considered in a shot, but usually in any bowling place the balls doenst have any specific charge at any side and they have a coventional grip. Excuse my definitions I dont know the specific word from spanish to english for grips and ball charge.

  • @janchapman1969a
    @janchapman1969a 12 лет назад

    actually up until recently a bowling ball was allowed to have twelve holes. it has been reduced to eleven. you are allowed one for each finger (thats 5), then you are allowed a small "vent" hole for each finger to allow air in and out so you don't have a vacuum effect when releasing the ball, then a "weight" hole to make it legal, and before resin balls the PBS used a durometer hole above the fingers 1/16" deep to be sure the surface wasn't tampered with thats 5+5+1+1=12

    • @ChevyRedneckGFX

  • @Bradley75062

    Different companies have different ways of creating balls.. Some (the yellow pin you see in the ball) hanging outside the ball through the mold.. It is later cut off and then the ball is cut on a lathe and pretty much the same process you saw in this clip..
    So, the ROSE (it's own weightblock) is hung while the ball hardens..

    @ryoryox I take it you don't bowl competitively. A ball itself will last for a long period of time. If the bowl isn't resurfaced or cleaned it could soak up enough oil over time to die out.That only goes for. resin and urethane balls.The reason so many people buy so many bowling balls is for many different lane conditions. A vas arsenal will help on a sport shot.
